(I know this is a shitpost, but I couldn’t resist lore-dumping)

The Dark Sign is actually Gwyn’s curse on humanity to seal away their potential (the Dark Soul being the only fragment of the First Flame that can be shared and passed on without weakening, he feared humanity growing powerful enough to topple the gods through sheer numbers). That’s why the Dark Sign appears as a flame encircling the Dark. When the First Flame weakens enough, his seal becomes visible as the Dark within humanity begins breaking free.

Just make sure you follow proper administration procedure.

For the uninitiated, the Mormon church has more than $200 billion in a “rainy day” investment fund they created using the tithes they demand from their members, with an estimated $7 billion more being added to their reserves each year from tithes and donations alone.

Time In A Bottle.

Oh no…

And then Microsoft screwed them out of royalties, according to the article. I feel like they should have included that in the title.

Hey, at least they added inventory sorting!

You know, after a decade of people asking for it. And without fixing the several fundamental design flaws that made the inventory a nightmare to use without sorting in the first place.

But at least they thinly papered over one of the game’s most hated bits!

“Acted alone” pretty much always means stochastic terrorism. Very few people radicalize themselves.

If it worked anything like the GLOO Cannon from Prey, I would have been satisfied even if it were the only major innovation in the episode.

Evie became a rich adventurer badass married to Brendan Frasier, so it worked out alright for her.

They canceled the GTA V story DLC after seeing the success of GTA Online, and their long-time head writer and producer resigned. I have little faith that GTA6 will capture the same spark that their earlier games had.

Shinzo Abe vibes.

Are you talking about the one showing conservatives tend to have an underdeveloped sense of empathy, or are there other studies?

I’m also on Sync, but there are a few things I’m unhappy with that have me looking at other apps.

First, the dev isn’t active on Lemmy. He’ll make an announcement post every few months and reply to comments for a couple of days before going radio silent again. I’m worried he’ll abandon the app out of disinterest or low motivation, like he did for a year after his UI refresh wasn’t well received back in the Reddit days.

Second, that inactivity extends to app development. Major, easily replicated bugs (like the crash on startup if you have “hide account names” enabled) linger for weeks to months without a patch. This also goes back to the Reddit days and isn’t new behavior.

Finally, he puts basic app features behind a paywall with a much higher price than normal IAPs ($16/year or $99 to permanently enable them). This includes features that used to be free in Sync, like tagging users or color highlights. It also includes things that Lemmy already does for free, like backing up subscriptions (though that was only recently added to Lemmy, so he might move it to the basic app eventually). Just removing ads with no other benefits costs $20, which is more than any app I’ve ever used charges.
